What's wrong with that?

Not too much.

Cannot believe the amount of leaves left on the trees around here. Hopefully a ton come down in the strong wind tomorrow. I’ll be doing leaves into the New Year at this point

Meh. Oaks are still loaded here too. Nothing unusual.

we need the season defining big cyclone and wind event...

we had an autumn like this in 1987 I recall... almost 0 wind thru all of October, then... we had a wind event near Halloween and I remember as the cold front came in there were leaves in the column from cloud base to earth.  crazy

90% leaves left are oaks as usual

Impressive.  
 

But Were either of those real? I mean it wasn’t really a warm airmass, or a cold one either?  Right? 
 

Maybe you just imagined it all?

50 degrees was the real temperature, both morning and afternoon.

Oh yeah we never forget that beast.  A foot of concrete in the valley on fully leafed trees was a disastah.  Shotgun blasts and power flashes throughout the night.  Long lines waiting at gas pumps and fights breaking out in Springfield.  A solid week plus without power for many.
